Shine in Gold

Sorry for the limited outfit posts :(

But finally a new outfit post! Maybe I can provide you with some outfit inspiration for this holiday season!

The Thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching!!! Time to feast on turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and pie <3 It's also a time where we can all get a little dressed up for the holiday season.

My family and I are still unsure of where we're going to go on Thanksgiving. Either going to a relatives house or we're just going to stay at home. Either way, I'll be with my family and that's all that matters.

I may not know where I'm going, but I do know what to wear.

An all gold ensemble!

I kinda feel like I look like wrapping paper.

Best part is, this outfit cost me less than $50! Of course this doesn't include the shoes. The top is from Forever21 only cost me $17 and the embellished gold filigree print skirt was a thrift store find at Crossroads Trading Co for only $8.50!!!

Top: Forever21

Skirt: Crossroads Trading Co

Tights: H&M

Heels: Calvin Klein

Happy Early Thanksgiving everyone!!! Be safe, be happy and get dressed up!

Textured Maxi

Hello Everyone! Something that makes my Monday bearable is taking pics of my outfit for this blog. Gives me something to look forward to since Mondays is usually tough. 

I'm obsessed with maxi's and lace and this dress has both. Found this dress at Urban Outfitters for $69. I like how this dress is deceptively sexy. It has a slight slit on the side and a see through lace back. There's just something about this maxi that I find romantic, girly and sexy. I also love the texture of this maxi dress. It combines lace material and heather gray cotton together so perfectly!

Only accessorized with my teal sunglasses because it was sunny outside. But I will definitely invest in some cute bracelets and rings. More reason to go shopping! 

Dress: Kimchi Blue from Urban Outfitters

Sunglasses: Target

This dress is a happy addition to my wardrobe. I think it's the perfect transition piece for summer to fall. 

What to do guys think of my outfit? Let me know!

Weekend Brunch

Hello everyone! 

Sorry for the mini break from outfit posting. But I've been battling with allergies, work and spending time with my parents because today is my Dad's birthday! 

I wore this outfit this weekend while spending time with my mom and dad! We spent the whole weekend eating and shopping. Quality family time is always good for the soul <3 

I'm still obsessed with maxi skirts and denim shirts so I decided to pair them together. My favorite obsessions in one outfit..what's not to love? Also, I found this Trouve clutch at Nordstrom Rack for only $34, originally $89! What a deal! This weekend was definitely awesome! 

Top: Bella Dahl from Nordstrom Rack

Skirt: Sag Harbor Petite thrifted at Crossroads

Shoes: Halogen from Nordstrom

Clutch: Trouve from Nordstrom Rack

Accessories: Kate Spade, H&M and Forever21

The weekend is never long enough for all the things I need and want to do. Wish we all had 3 day weekends but we don't. Only 4 more days until Friday!!! We can make it :D

Hello everyone!

*This whole outfit cost me $80

Denim Jacket: Fire Los Angeles 

Dress and Heels: H&M

Only 1 more day until our weekend begins! What are you gonna do?

Tomorrow is Monday, the start of the work week, but I'm excited for tomorrow because Red Stripes Boutique is launching their online store! 

Here's the link for the online store

I was at the San Jose Night Market on Saturday night and my friend Michelle took me to Red Stripes Pop-up store. I immediately started picking dresses and shirts to try on. Out of the 6 items I tried on, I ended up taking home 3. I got a dress, skirt and floral sheer blouse. You can check out the pictures of the clothing below. 

The owner of Red Stripes Boutique, Stephanie, is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She is super nice and she was actually wearing this coral and blue dress that she sold at her store. Stephanie looked absolutely amazing in it.

Denim Verse

Hello everyone! Ever since I've purchased this denim shirt 2 weeks ago, it's safe to say that it is quickly becoming my go to shirt. I've already posted it in 3 posts (including this one).

Instead of pairing this shirt of jeans, I thought to myself "Why not pair it with my peach/beige striped dress?". I liked how it looked so I put on my mint green converse shoes to complete this casual look. 

Accessorized with a mix teal/peach/pink colors. This purse you see is a NEW ADDITION to my closet. My boyfriend got this for me as a birthday present! I absolutely love it! I've been looking for a big shoulder purse that can fit all my necessities. The color is perfect all year round also. 

A basic beige purse will last you a lifetime!

Shirt: Bella Dahl from Nordstrom Rack

Dress: H&M

Accessories: Forever21/Aldo

Purse: Michael Kors

Let me know your thoughts about this denim shirt over striped dress look :] Comment below! 

Btw, shout-out to my friend, Alex, for helping me think of a title for this post! I sent out a preview of this outfit on my instagram earlier asking for help with a post title. 

Alex commented: "Denim Verse cause you have a denim top and converse as your shoes :)"

Beach Birthday Outfit

Happy Tuesday everyone! 

So last Saturday I had a LAST MINUTE celebration for my birthday by going to the beach at nearby San Francisco with a few friends. I'm not a big party kinda girl. Last year, I had a big party, but I didn't really like it. This year, I had small celebrations with family and friends during the days before my birthday. Had dinner with my uncle, lunch/shopping with my parents and had a night-in with my boyfriend. 

Unfortunately, my boyfriend wasn't able to go to the beach. But I still had a blast. I must say that the weather on Saturday was absolutely perfect! Thank you Mother Nature for the perfect weather that day. I chose that Crissy Field would be the best place to go to because it has an amazing view of the Golden Gate bridge. 

View and weather from our spot at Crissy Field! 

I don't go to the beach as often I would like, but when I do get to go I try to enjoy it as much as possible. 

Usually SF weather is windy and cold, even when the sun is out. So I dressed appropriately for that weather. I'm obsessed with flowers! I have a lot of flower printed shirts and accessories. Now, I have flower printed shorts and pants! 

I wore these white jeans with blue flower print. From the moment I saw them, I knew I had to get them. It's like those jeans were calling my name! Paired them with a lightweight denim colored shirt. The color of the shirt plays very well with the color of the flower print jeans. 

I accessorized with my statement peach necklace and mixed it up with peach/teal bracelets. Does it look like I overdressed for the beach? I tend to do that from time to time, but it's my birthday and I think we all deserve to stand out (in a good way) on our birthdays :D 

This little bird decided to stop by near us. Guess he wanted to wish me a Happy Birthday haha.

So glad I decided to bring shorts! I changed to these flower printed shorts after 30 minutes of staying in the sun. I can't believe how hot it was in San Francisco that day. Usual SF weather is windy/cold, so I am so glad I packed a pair of shorts.

This post was kinda long, but I had a lot of pictures to take! Thank you for my friends for coming! I had so much fun. 

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

Easy Breezy

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic Fourth of July!!! I for one enjoyed my day off, but it just sucked that it was in the middle of the week...would've preferred if it was on a Friday, but let's not complain, a day off is a day off. 

Today's post is going to be super quick.

All the apparel pieces I'm wearing was all borrowed from my best friend and new roommate. Big thanks to her, I now have another closet to raid! Too bad I've gained some weight, so some of her clothes are a little tight, but it gives me motivation to go and workout!

What I'm wearing:

Jacket: Abercrombie & Fitch (borrowed)

Dress: Abercrombie & Fitch (borrowed)

Heels: thrifted at Crossroads Trading Co.

Accessories: Forever21

It's almost Friday! Let's hang in there!

Naya Rivera and I have the same necklace!!

Happy Monday Everyone! So my fellow blogger Barrie from one quirky peach, was kind enough to tell me that Naya Rivera was wearing a necklace very similar to my peach statement necklace on The Glee Project (the sexuality episode). I couldn't find a good shot of the necklace because most of it is under her shirt, but it looks super similar to the statement necklace I got from H&M.

Pretty cool!!!

Naya River plays Santana on the super popular show Glee! I love that show and I also love The Glee Project. It's so funny, the one day I miss an episode, is the one day I have something in common with a character haha

The beautiful Naya <3
